Home sales are stuck near record lows while prices hit another absurd high. The housing market remains frozen with limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates constraining buyers. Existing home sales barely moved from historically weak levels, according to the National Association of Realtors. The median home price still managed to climb higher, reaching over four hundred fourteen thousand dollars.

Chief economist Lawrence Yun described another tough period for purchasers. He noted some improvement recently with lower borrowing costs and moderating price growth. Mortgage rates remained high before finally easing. This decline helped spark a sales increase in the most recent reporting period.

First-time buyers face a particular strain without existing home equity. Many potential purchasers are choosing to wait amid ongoing affordability issues. The market continues operating far below its typical healthy sales pace. This dynamic creates a slow and uneven recovery process for the entire sector.
